Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 28 Professionals who handle ingredients

"If you want to buy, just pick whatever you want."

"Hey, the business has been bleak recently, and this big pot of fried chestnuts has not been sold yet."

"It's not easy to have so many guests here, but they are still being ruined like this. This business really doesn't matter!"

The old lady who sold the chestnuts sighed, her tone faintly implying that she was going to be bad.

Chen Ye smiled in his heart. He had actually seen that the other party said and did this on purpose, in fact, he was preparing ingredients for himself.

He took out three copper coins from his pocket and put them on the old grandma's trolley, then chose three larger "meat sculptures" and slowly approached them...

During the whole process, the halo of luck above the head remained normal. Instead of changing in a bad direction, there was a faint blue light and purple air lingering around it.

"Purple Qi means you can get help..."

"Blue light is about creation..."

"The combination of two different auras of luck means that I can get the sugar-fried chestnuts passed down by the grandmother?"

Chen Ye kept accumulating the color forms of different auras of luck, in order to increase his experience and form a systematic knowledge base.

At present, in addition to the basic eight colors, the aura of luck also has a certain degree of color difference and interweaving of multiple colors. Even in some special cases, the aura will condense into a specific pattern, which has symbolic meaning.

At the beginning, the talent of [Pupil of Luck] would feel very abstract when used.

But as Chen Ye's understanding deepened, he gradually understood the meaning expressed by the halo of luck, as if he had mastered a new language!

Looking around, Chen Ye's eyes adapted to the darkness, and he could see everything nearby clearly.

He quickly found a thick hemp rope from an abandoned shop not far away, and tied the three ingredients together firmly.

Bow down and lift up hard.

"what……"

"It's not as heavy as I thought?"

Chen Ye was suddenly a little surprised. He thought that these three big guys added up to more than three times his own size, and it would be difficult to carry it with the strength of this thin body.

In fact, the weight is there, but not as heavy as imagined.

It's just... the rotten flesh sticks to his back, and through the thin shirt, there is a cold, sticky, and disgusting slippery feeling, which makes Chen Ye feel as if there is a dark giant worm lying on his back, secreting an inexplicable liquid at the bottom. The rancid smell became stronger.

However, in order to continue on the road of "God of Cooking", Chen Ye had no choice but to hold back everything while pinching his nose.

Anyway, I was a homeless person with tattered clothes, and I got used to this old and dirty outfit, so the discomfort of carrying rotten flesh on my back was not so strong.

"Grandma, where should we find professionals who handle ingredients?"

Chen Ye packed the three pieces of rotten meat and carried them on his back, then turned to the old lady selling chestnuts and asked.

"Come with me."

"The professional who handles the ingredients is a lady with a rather strange appearance. We all call her 'Miss Squirrelfish'."

"Her shop is near No. 21 Shitou Road, on the left side of the exit of the east gate of Xining Alley."

"Although she is a little demented and unresponsive, she is kind and hardworking, and stays in the store day and night... Heh, as long as you have such unprocessed and inferior ingredients, or need to exchange ingredients, you can buy them at any time. They can go there to find her."

The old lady selling chestnuts was pushing a cart and leading the way, while introducing Chen Ye with her back turned.

However, her pace seems to be very slow, but from time to time she will suddenly appear at the end of the opposite alley from the entrance of this alley.

Sometimes Chen Ye didn't even bother to maintain a wandering walking posture, and needed to trot quickly to keep up, for fear of losing the position of the old lady.

He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart. Based on his own experience, it was actually difficult to judge what kind of characteristic ability this was.

Transmission department?Teleportation system?time system?

All in all, there are too many types of characteristics in "Strange Age", which are divided into "appearance" and "essence".

The so-called 'appearance' refers to the manifestation of characteristics, such as [flash], which can instantly span a distance of more than ten meters, hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters.

But the 'essence' is the type of characteristics, even if they are different types of characteristics, they will have similar 'appearances'.

For example, Chen Ye's [Wanderer's Boots] can theoretically achieve the effect of [Flash] on the basis of the continuous expansion of the weirdness value.

But the essence of [Wanderer's Boots] is 'displacement', which can only increase the speed and efficiency of movement.

If there is a wall in front of him, even if he can step over that wall with enough distance, he will severely hit his forehead into a big bag.

But if it is [Flash], then it can directly ignore this wall and appear on the other side of the wall.

Even if the "appearance" of the characteristics is the same, but due to the different "essence", in the actual application process, there will be great changes.

For the time being, Chen Ye is still unable to tell which type the chestnut-selling grandmother belongs to, whether it is a status occupation or a special item, or whether it is by means of rules...

All in all, there are countless possibilities in this world, and he knows more and more that he needs to be humble and cautious.Even if you are an internal beta player, you must always understand that there is endless knowledge here.

Only by always maintaining a humble heart of an apprentice can we take every next step well!
"Heh, if that old lady were to tell her, she would probably say something like 'a true master always has the heart of an apprentice'..." Chen Ye joked in his heart.

When thinking of this, Chen Ye suddenly felt the significance of himself to apprentices, as if he had a sense of digestion similar to practicing Erhu.The heart is enlightened, enlightened, and the mind is sober.In an instant, the whole world fell into his eyes and became clear and bright.

Before he knew it, Chen Ye had bypassed most of the maze-like alleys in Xining.

There is a huge stone arch in front, and there are stone lion sculptures on both sides, which are magnificent.

It is the east gate of Xining Alley.

On the left side of the door, only a small shop of about five square meters is still open, and there is a slight warm light shining from the window.

"This is where Miss Squirrel Fish is." said the old chestnut seller, pushing the small cart in her hand and walking forward.

She came to the door of the cabin, knocked politely three times, and then raised her voice and called out:

"Miss Squirrelfish, there is a new business coming!"

Squeak!

Soon, the wooden door was slowly opened...

A bloated figure like a meat ball slowly squeezed out from the small doorway!
The figure walking out of the house has fish gills on both sides of the face, and the human nose, eyes, and mouth can be discerned vaguely from the outline of the face... The long chin is so slack that it can almost hang down to the ground, but the lips can be seen. Closed up and down, the neck is as long as a turtle.

There are dense scales on the back of the body that looks like a two-meter giant rat!

After careful observation, the scales on the back turned out to be blood-colored bone fingers, just like the hallucination that Chen Ye had when he first looked at the grandmother's sugar-fried chestnuts!
Those bone fingers grew on his back like petals, swinging back and forth between his steps, like fluttering aquatic plants.

When Chen Ye's eyes fell on Miss Squirrel Fish for the first time, the only thought suddenly appeared in his mind——

"I usually eat the stuff on my back, right?"
